And I'll say it now, the officiating definitely needs to get a LOT better. Too many bad calls and blatantly missed calls yesterday. The most egregious one was the call in the Seahawks/Packers game with a player getting kicked out of the game for "throwing a punch". There was no punch thrown.....

Weekly winners: as noted, the Chiefs Charlie Brown'd us by beating the defending SB champs on their own field. Wow.

And Brian Floyd was the only person to pick the Jaguars over the Texans in Houston (did they play in Houston? I can't find anything out.) Division game drama! Since this win marks the first time the Jags have been over 0.500 in SIX YEARS I'm going to sprinkle our very first I CALLED IT! award of the season with a little extra juice, because I've been awake since 12:20 AM. Congratulations, Brian!

After the final two games of week one in the books, I go an unimpressive 8-7 and 3-4 v Hagerman. But for a blocked field goal, I almost had that Chargers game. That said, the Vikings win in impressive fashion so I'm all good. And? We take on Hagerman's team in Pittsburgh on Sunday! SKOL VIKINGS!!!!!

Won my last six to finish 11-4 in week one. Didn't get to see a lot of games (some are on the DVR) but it was something to watch Aaron Rodgers just toying with the Seahawks' line. Rodgers is the best I've ever seen at drawing people off and manipulating those substitution penalties and he was in rare form, particularly for the first game of the season when defenses are usually still ahead of offenses.

Ladies (well...no ladies this year again) and gentlemen (not many among us but a few...at least, there should...statistically) : here is the 1st week result analysis and overall ranking !!!

Week 1 (and, for the only time, Overall Ranking) :

First of all, I did miss the deadline for KC-Pats...and would have pick my Pats, but duly made my picks on my mobile, as I was in holidays...and just noticed they were not on the thread...nevermind, I'm trying a new challenge against you this year, Rick Senger...I play one week less than you.

Here is my comments of the games, I all watched in 40' on my game pass and what was my pick :

Chiefs at Patriots : should be close as KC as finally offensive weapons for Alex...Pats....but no, Pats were surpringly short in DL/LB (come back Rob), unable to stop flawless Smith and his new RB + Tyreek...sorry for their ProBowler FS...0-1

Jets at Bills : the Jets won't tank...but Buffalo is a good team. 1-1

Falcons at Bears : I expected a good game from the Bears...and they should have won. A weird "déjà vu" in their last 4 passes...1-2

Ravens at Bengals : I never pick against my Ravens...and expected a slaughter of Cinci OL...2-2
